You’ve heard terms like decolonization and anti-oppression, but how do they apply to your business? Can you honestly say you’ve done the work to ensure your business is doing no harm?

If you’re unsure where to start—or feel worried about getting it “wrong”—you’re not alone. Decolonization work isn’t about shame or perfection. It’s about love, liberation, and taking intentional steps toward building a more inclusive and just business.

That’s why I invited Silvana Espinoza Lau, a liberation and decolonization consultant, to join me on Deeply Rested!

Silvana helps coaches, therapists, and other service-based providers decolonize and liberate their businesses to make their services more welcoming and affirming for clients who hold marginalized identities.

In this episode, Silvana shares: 

✔️ Her expansive and compassion-focused definition of decolonization

✔️ 3 resources you can use to begin decolonizing your business ASAP

✔️ Non-exploitative, consent-based strategies for attracting more diverse clients

✔️ How to privilege love, joy, and liberation in your decolonization work

If you’re ready to move beyond theory and start making real, tangible changes in your business—without fear or shame—I hope you’ll tune in.
